NYC Brewers Guild Block Party

It’s still 2013, but it’s never too early to plan for Beer Week next year.

On August 25 from 2 to 5 p.m., the New York City Brewers Guild (NYCBG) will host a fundraiser Block Party for NYC Beer Week 2014 at The Well in Bushwick (which will soon be a bar and public space, right now it is an event venue).

Tickets to the event are $50, which gets you access to rare and limited beers, beer slushies from Kelvin Natural Slush Co., nail art from Nails & Ales (just look at her blog. It’s amazing), soda from GuS Grown Up Soda and a DJ set from Small Black. Here are just some of the breweries and beers that will be at the event.

Members of the NYCBG are: The Bronx Brewery, Brooklyn Brewery, Chelsea Brewing Co., City Island Brewery, Eataly Birreria, Heartland Brewing Co., KelSo Beer Company, Rockaway Brewing Company, Shmaltz Brewing Co., Sixpoint Brewery and 508 GastroBrewery. Formed in 2012, the NYCBG took over New York City Beer Week from its founder Josh Schnaffer. The first Beer Week under the direction of the Guild took place in February of this year.
